2026 Europeans - Men Free Skate - “To Be Or Not To Appleby - That Is The Quadstion?”

[Colonel Green]

Somehow within ten points of the TES lead despite all those mistakes, but I'm going to guess that TES drops by a lot upon review.

 

[ilovesalchows]

Judges will PCS him up like they always do

 

[Hedwig]

Grassl
4z ur fall
4l nearly did it but then slipped on the heel and another fall
4sal
3a very tilted in the air and again fall and probably ur - he was so diagonal in the air that I could not really see his landing
3a ur 2a 2a
3z3toe, even the toe looked short
3l3toe, again toe short and step out
the TES is already not great and will still drop
He might even end up with lower TES than Memola

 

[Lizziebeth]

Not a fan of Grassl at all but that was

Rizzo: hold my holy water!

Officially:
4Lz q

4S q
3A <
3A < +2A+2A

TES is almost 15 points lower already.

 

[Colonel Green]

The shirt rip is I guess supposed to reveal the papal robes, but it plays like something from a romance novel.

 

[Citlali]

Oh Daniel, not enough ?

 

[Badams]

Wow. That was hard to watch. He's not my favorite, but I hate to see anyone fall apart like this.

 

[BittyBug]

Grassl’s jumps were looking better in the early season but now seem to have huge hooks again. < in my view.

He was very good at the GPF.

Glad they went this far but honestly still a little generous.

6 jumps passes with rotational issues! good judging

6 jumps passes with rotational issues! good judging

All 7

 

[Sally1214]

WOW ... this was NOT Daniel's Euros. With trouble on all the jumping passes in this program it makes me wonder if it was all just his timing being off or has he got some kind of injury going on ? What a shame .... he's SO much better than that.

 

[delayedaxel]

Judges taking their time...

 

[tony]

6.64 presentation, just brutal.

 

[Lizziebeth]

I would hope they would not hold that up with PCS. It was not his day.

 

[BittyBug]

Someone please give Grassl a hug.

 

[Sally1214]

Go, Matteo.

 

[Hedwig]

6.64 presentation, just brutal.

and more than accurate. I am so impressed with the judges

 

[miffy]

So unless Rizzo has a great skate Italy might lose the 3rd spot

 

[Karen-W]

Holy dumpage. Zero PCS bump for Grassl.

 

[susieB129]

Looks like he hurt his arm.

 

[PRlady]

Go Matteo!

 

[Braulio]

So sad to watch him like this, not the best going to Milan where he will add pressure

 

[Vagabond]

:

6.64 presentation, just brutal.

But fair.

[her grace]

2 spots for Slovakia!!! Vaclavik can come next year, too

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Had to dash out to run errands for a sick friend. Which performances should I make sure I go back and watch?

 

[MsZem]

Brother on Grassl: that was more bobsled than figure skating.

Go Matteo!!!
